Tips and Practices We Swear by !
We Love What We Do
The most important thing is to truly love the business, and plan each wedding like it’s your own! As a wedding planner, our role is not just be limited to the planning and organizing aspect of it. We are a visionary, a researcher, an artist, a juggler of tasks, an entertainer, a referee, or even a shoulder for the bride to cry on. As long as we are passionate about what we do and dedicate our self to it, the business will remain rewarding for years to come, motivating ourselves to do our best and ultimately stay ahead in the industry!
We have developed our Own Style
Planning a wedding is all about style. The guest trusts us and our ideas to make their wedding beautiful. Therefore, we develop a business that reflects our unique and original style. There are hordes of businesses that have emerged in this segment upon copying the offerings of the industry leaders and have met with a sad end. Therefore, we have developed and demonstrated a distinctive style in our profile that makes us stand apart from our contemporaries.
We have a Knack for Planning and Organizing
The wedding planning profile is very inclusive, involving numerous traditions and subsequent protocols. As a planner, we have to perform all the essential tasks from creating the event timelines and setting the budget for each, to managing all the vendors and ensuring a smooth implementation throughout. We coordinate all the processes and the people while keeping a keen eye for the details and keeping on our toes to prepare ourselves in case any unpredictable situation arises. Therefore, coming with some prior experience or having a knack for planning and organizing definitely come handy in this business.
We Manage People, Emotions and their Expectations
Weddings in India are a once-in-a-lifetime occasion for the couple and their families, friends, and rishtedaars to unite and celebrate. Therefore, our people and expectation management skills need to be top-notch for our business to truly thrive in the domain. One of the key ways of achieving the same is by adapting ourselves in a manner that would suit our guest’s requirements. By introducing elements that live up to the guest’s version while reflecting our unique style.
We Stay Updated With the Trends
The wedding scenario is highly dynamic in nature, with newer trends influencing the space every so often. For instance, one of the most prominent trends in the landscape of the Indian wedding at present is the fusion of ‘modernized’ elements with the evergreen traditions. Moreover, new-age couples are gradually shifting from hosting the popular ‘Big Fat Indian Wedding’ to a more intimate affair amidst a close-knit guest list of family and friends. Therefore as a wedding planner, it is very important for us to stay updated with all the trends in order to present a strong and impressive case before our guests.
We Become a Part of the Family
One of the best reasons that we put up a great show is to truly feel and become a part of our guest’s family. We treat each event like our own, and immerse our self fully into planning the same. We become an active participant in all the activities and the shenanigans! This helps us approach the planning and implementation in a more personalized and endearing manner.
We Build Relationships
As a wedding planner, we actively invest our time and energy into developing relationships with vendors as well as other professionals in the domain. We understand that the industry is pretty close-knit in nature, with everyone eager to build and expand their networks. Building relationships does not only gives us a better understanding of the business but also helps us create referral sources and direct contacts which helps in developing the business substantially.
